1. Introduzione

L'economia, dal greco οίκος [oikos], 'casa' e νομος [nomos], 'norma', cioè amministrazione della casa, trova le sue origini nel pensiero antico, in cui, pur non trovando delle veri e propri modelli economici analitici, possiamo imbatterci in argomenti che costituiscono le basi delle più moderne teorie. L’economia prende le sue forme dal pensiero e dagli scritti di un grande filosofo vissuto tra il 384 e il 322 a.C. : Aristotele.
Questo pensatore ha analizzato con successo i processi economici nella compravendita e nel baratto caratteristici dell’ economia della sua epoca e tutt’ oggi il suo pensiero attira l’interesse degli economisti contemporanei, per via dei primi abbozzi della teoria del valore che troviamo nelle sue opere.

2. Aristotele e la sua opera

2.1 Introduzione alle opere

Aristotele è stato definito genio universale poiché i suoi lavori toccano logica, epistemologia, metafisica, retorica, filosofia, politica; in realtà non ha mai parlato molto di economia poichè tutto quello che ha detto è stato trattato nell’analisi di altri soggetti :
Nella Politica tratta del raggiungimento del benessere in modo più o meno naturale; tema che fu poi dibattuto nel medioevo perché sembrava portare argomentazione di supporto alla chiesa sul tema dell’usura.
Nell’ Etica a Nicomaco della questione della giustizia nello scambio; ripreso poi dalla Scolastica di Tommaso d’Aquino. In quest’opera medievali individuarono la distinzione tra giustizia correttiva e distributiva, altri ancora vi lessero anche della giustizia commutativa, da vedersi come massima espressione della reciprocità e

    The commedia dell'arte developed in northern Italy in the sixteenth century; it was comprised of traveling theatrical groups whose performers came from the middle and lower classes. These performers entertained audiences with their portrayal of the aristocracy and upper class as “blundering, pompous and ultimately stupid”. “The directness of its stories and music, and the social criticism inherent in its commedia dell'arte archetypes” was adopted by opera. “This ability for an audience, especially a middle class audience, to personally identify with the characters and the dramatic situations of opera buffa, cuts to the heart and soul of what opera buffa is all about” (L28, 24:18).…

    Aristotle Vs Machiavelli

    Aristotle creates a metaphorical map directing the reader to a destination known to him as magnanimity. Vices such as vanity, boastfulness, and excess anger, are all concepts which Aristotle insinuates that a magnanimous person should not be comprised of (CITATION). Though, he also mentions deficiencies such as pusillanimity, self-deficiency, and patience which a magnanimous person should have (CITATION). An individual who can balance between both these virtues and vices is what Aristotle would deem a magnanimous person (CITATION). Applying this concept to political leaders such as Nelson Mandela, Abraham Lincoln, and Donald Trump, lends a description of who is fit to lead a country effectively in order promote overall human ecstasy. This is…

    Aristotelian philosophy, some two thousand three hundred years old, is perhaps one of the most influential philosophies in history. After being preserved by Arab scholars during the fall of Rome, the teachings of Aristotle were found by Christians during the dark ages. His works, including Nichomachean Ethics, were of great influence to many Christian philosophers during medieval times, but soon philosophies began to shift, marking the conception of the Enlightenment. Philosophy took a drastic shift from predominantly substantive reason to procedural views, markedly seen in works by philosophers St. Augustine, Rene Descartes, and quite notably Immanuel Kant. By comparing the views shared by Aristotle in Nichomachean Ethics, and…

    Eurypides uses sound to great effect in Medea. Perhaps most prevalent is the fact that all the women are played by men, most likely talking and singing in a high pitched falsetto, giving the play a high, screeching tone, which would certainly put the audience on edge. This would add to the tension, and provide an exaggerated contrast between the men, speaking in their natural voices, and the women in their falsetto. This also influences the musical nature of the play. As compared to other Greek tragedies where the chorus would have been intentionally all male, Medea would have a very different sound, a much more feminine sound, as would be fitting for one of the few Greek plays with a female protagonist.…

    Questa dinamicità di stimoli e risposte tipica dell’interdipendenza strategica delle azioni implementabili in un contesto oligopolistico è alla base del passaggio dalle teorie economiche classiche a quelle moderne, che permettono una lettura ed un’interpretazione della realtà, non più statica o tendente a posizioni statiche, ma così com’è, cioè un continuo divenire nel quale le imprese adottano strategie variabili seguendo da un lato gli andamenti dei mercati e dall’altro i…
